MARINE U7s put in another superb performance against a previously unbeaten and very skilful Belvedere team.

Both teams played their part in an excellent game of football with some wonderful play in all areas of the pitch.

Marine raised their game for this tough challenge scoring some excellent goals in the process as they ended Belvedere’s unbeaten start to the season.

Man of the match Luis scored four, as did the prolific Adam C, who added to his tally for the season.

Adam B and Isaac completed the scoring.

Belvedere deserve credit for never giving up and but for a great performance at the back from Kieran aided by goalkeeper, Craig, the game could have been a lot closer.

Marine U8s Colts 0 – 3 Belfry Youth U8s

After the euphoria of last week’s win it was perhaps a little disappointing that the Colts did not get anything out of this game.

A missed penalty did not help matters but despite the defeat the team can be pleased with their continued improvement and effort – especially man of the match, Dominic Todd-Walsh.

Marine U8s 4 – 0 Parkfield U8s

With their closest rivals losing ground, Marine capitalised with a solid performance and deserved victory over Parkfield.

Despite their dominance a solitary Ryan Walker goal was all Marine had to show for in the first half.

In the second half the goals came more freely as Marine made their possession count.

Man of the match David Walsh helped himself to a well taken brace but goal of the game came from Ryan Walker, who beat three Parkfield players down the left-hand side before coolly chipping the oncoming keeper for a memorable goal.

Marine U10s 4 – 5 Northfield

An end-to-end encounter finally went the way of an excellent Northfield team with both teams putting on a great show for the spectators.

Starting the game without regular keeper Ben Clarke did not help the Marine cause but despite the setback there was some excellent performances all over the pitch.

Indeed, they can count themselves unfortunate not to have taken something out of this game.

Goals came from man of the match Aaron O’Brien, Leon Beckwith, Lewis Robson and Joseph Gelhardt.

Marine U14s Girls 1 – 2 Rakers U14s Girls

The Marine girls played some great football and deserved a bit more out of this wonderful game of football.

Rakers took an early lead but were pegged back by a superb 30-yard free kick from Nicole Harrison.

A wonderful performance at the back from Emily Jones looked to have earned Marine a point but the girls were to be undone by a goal with less than a minute to go.

Marine U15s 1 – 1 BV08 U15s

Marine shared the spoils again after a keenly fought encounter between two well matched teams.

Both defences were always on top and chances were at a premium in this tight affair.

Dean Smith put in an assured performance at the back for Marine helping ensure the first half remained goalless.

In the second half Marine raised their game and began to create more in front of goal.

However, slightly against the run of play, BVO8 snatched the lead when Marine failed to clear their lines.

Marine continued to press and got their deserved equaliser with a Callum Birchill penalty levelling the tie.

The Marine backline of Dean Smith, Luke Daykin, Adam Bond and Nick Jones were excellent throughout, with man of the match going to the impressive Dean Smith.
